I've just tried to use the tslist file, like suggested in the viewtopic.php?f=6&t=69&p=301 topic. However, in the README.tslist we read in the first line

"To activate time series output in WRF, a file named "tslist" must be present in the WRF run directory."

We know that the directory structure in wrfems is different and the wrf.exe, for example, is not in a WRF directory. I've tried copying the "tslist" (without extension, I've not read anything about it) in the $EMS/runs/<domain>/ but this is deleted when ems_prep starts.

How can I do?

Second question: when is generated the output, after ems_run or I must to use ems_post in any mode?

Yes because this is not supported via wrfems system. You should put this file somewhere else (let's say in wrfems/data/wrf directory) and then edit perl scripts in wrfems/strc directory - actual file and what to modify depends on your ems version. Editing should be done in a way so that ems system will create symlink in run directory to your file every time model starts. If you don't know how to do that, tell us your ems version.

I think it will be during ems_run, but I'm not sure, I never tried time series list.

Hey everybody,
Very good topic!
I have the same problem. I will create a tslist but it doesn't work. Always deleted in the runs/domain folder.
In my release folder it is written 3.1.1.5.1., the same like Giancarlo Modugno.
Can someone help to modify the pearl scripts? I don't know anything about such things.
And perhaps someone can say, where I find the output of the tslist, if it works?!?!
bye Pejman

wait!!! I'm having another simulation and I've coincidently seen the files *.ts in the run directory. Thus, there is output but this is deleted when wrfems copies the wrfout_* files in the final stage, isn't it?

The maximum number of time series locations is controlled by the namelist
variable max_ts_locs, which may be specified in the &domains namelist. Also,.
the number of entries in the buffers for time series output can be set with.
the ts_buf_size variable, also found in &domains.

But I don't find anything in my namelist that match. Can I add easy a row with max_ts_locs in my namelist. real under &domains?

If yes, what else we can do to copy the file?

Thank you

Right. Basically you should find where in scripts wrfout files are copied, then add similar commands to copy ts files. If you can't yourself I can look at this, but you will need to wait maybe few days.
